He’s NOT my twin brother, he is!

A doctor friend of mine told me that more than half of the deaths that happen in hospitals happen because of misdiagnosis. Doctors treat the patient for the wrong disease and …well…”Sorry, m’am, we did all we could.”

What do doctors learn in school we are left to wonder.

Doctors and nurses can screw things up in China, too.

A pair of twins were born 21 years ago in a Beijing hospital.

The hospital, however, mixed up a third child with one of the twins and they got switched.

Two boys grew up thinking they were twins until, by chance, the two twin brothers who lived in the same semi-rural district ran into each other.

Think about that - the chances of two Chinese kids running into each other and thinking – “Hey! You look like me!”

Neighbors complained when one boy would not respond when they called him by his real twin brother’s name. That happens when people call you someone you are not.

When friends and neighbors and a good look at one another finally convinced the three to take a look inside…blood tests…the truth was found.

The two who grew up together were definitely NOT twins. The two who found each other… 99.999% certain to be blood relations.

The family wants the hospital to pay up.

Meanwhile, the third boy is wondering…”Who’s my daddy?”

Lesson learned – when you are born, hang on tight to momma, because the ride will begin soon.
